"Despite the war aims being nebulous, illegal, and ever changing, none of them would be advanced by bombing a girls school." If the goal is to force the enemy into giving up? Many are willing to give their life to a cause, but way

The school was hit 3 times by precision rockets. The compound of the school physically separated from the military buildings since 10 years. Clearly visible on sat pictures. Trump's reaction? It could have been anyones Tomahawks missil

Yes, mistakes can happen. But when you use autonomous targeting systems (with "human oversight" in theory) and tell your soldiers: "no stupid rules of engagement,” “no politically correct wars,” and “no nation-building quagmi

"Trump the 45th even implored EU to do so and bolster NATO." All he wanted was EU to buy more US weapons (also to help with his wars). Guess what is happening now, we still do buy US weapons where there is no other choice, but apa

The war in itself? For sure, but if a million dollar rocket saves a billion dollar radar system against a 50.000 drone, it still seems working as intended.

It actually works pretty well, considering how much they do shoot down, but if there is enough incoming, some will get through.

They all seem to come from quite old HN profiles, though. So if someone managed to overtake old HN accounts for manipulation .. I would assume it would be for a more lucrative target?

"that suggests agents aren't capable of reliably generalizing beyond their training data." Yes? If they could, we would have a strong general intelligence by now and only few people are claiming this.

Fireworks rocket do not cost as much. But if you want high precision and high speed, that simply is expensive. Also the area is of course restricted making it more expensive as most states do not want DIY rockets everywhere.
